Abstract

The closure tongue arrangement for a motor vehicle safety belt involves the belt in the outwardly drawn state extending from a deflector or winding device in the vehicle roof interior downwards to two belt locks on either side of a seat. The belt has two closure tongues, which in the upwardly wound state of the belt are held close to each other in a predetermined position against the vehicle roof interior. When the belt is drawn downwards to the locks the tongues are secured in the latter. The two lock tongues (10,12) with the safety belt (2) unrolled are held in balance in relation to a section of the safety belt running from them upwards to the deflector or winding device (8,4).
